Hello my friends,

Well...2008 is almost here. As I type this message, it is less than 24 hours away from the year of new beginnings for me...for you...for all!

I spent a lot of time today reflecting over the milestones I've made in my career this year (2007). I have accomplished so many things and I am well on my way to even BETTER career achievements. The accomplishments below mean a lot to me, but when 2008 rings in, many of them will be sweet memories left behind. In 2008, I plan on jumping higher hurdles in my life and moving on to higher level of achievement in my career! In 2008, the world will finally be able to hear me singing my OWN music. The world has waited long enough and in 2008, they will have to wait NO MORE! P.E.JAY is coming out!!

As you can see from the milestones listed below, 2007 was a great year, but 2008 will be even greater!! Stay Tuned for BIGGER things!
